McAllen's price band
McAllen is cheaper than 92% of the 195 US metros we price for gutter cleaning work.
Most McAllen homeowners pay $210 to have the gutters cleaned on a two-story home, inside a normal range of $130–$340. Downspout flushing is often included; when it isn't, it adds $20–$95 per downspout. Overdue gutters packed with debris add $45–$140.
McAllen is one of the lower-paid outdoor labor markets in the BLS table: its metro sits below about $16.59 an hour for landscaping and groundskeeping workers (May 2025), against $18.82 nationally. Labor is most of a gutter bill, which is why a typical two-story clean here comes to $210, against $250 nationally. Hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30, so book a clean before June and check the gutters again after big storms.
Before anyone climbs, ask the McAllen crew for proof of liability insurance, since the work is done on ladders and roofs. For repairs or new gutters, check whether your state needs a contractor's license.

Gutter cleaning prices across McAllen
Where the house sits changes the job. Our estimate runs highest in McAllen — Downtown & 17th Street and lower in areas like Harlingen, Weslaco & Brownsville. Tall homes and tight access mean longer ladders and more roof work, and big trees add debris.
McAllen — Downtown & 17th Street
- Two-story clean
- $190–$300 per job
- One-story clean
- $85–$310 / one-story clean
The top of the city range. Where homes share walls or sit close together, the crew may need roof access to reach the back gutters, which adds time.
Edinburg & Pharr
- Two-story clean
- $160–$260 per job
- One-story clean
- $70–$260 / one-story clean
Close to the city typical. Porches, add-ons and tight side yards can add ladder moves, so ask whether the quote covers every roofline.
Mission & Hidalgo
- Two-story clean
- $170–$270 per job
- One-story clean
- $75–$270 / one-story clean
Close to the city typical. If your street has big, mature trees, expect more leaves and seed pods, and make the late-fall clean a priority.
Harlingen, Weslaco & Brownsville
- Two-story clean
- $160–$270 per job
- One-story clean
- $70–$270 / one-story clean
Bigger homes and big trees mean more feet of gutter and more debris, so quotes range wider here. Simple one- and two-story homes still price near the city typical.
Real-world gutter cleaning costs in McAllen
Here's what common gutter cleaning jobs cost in McAllen in 2026, labor, haul-away and downspout flushing included.
Overdue two-story clean with blocked downspouts
A two-story clean ($130–$340) plus a heavy-debris charge ($45–$140) and clearing blocked downspouts ($50–$140). Gutters left for a few years often need all three.
Two-story clean plus a roof blow-off
Leaves and needles on the roof wash straight back into clean gutters. Blowing the roof off on the same visit adds $65–$190 to the $210 typical clean.
Cleaning under existing gutter guards
Guards keep out most leaves, but grit and needles still build up under them. Lifting and refitting guards adds $25–$140 to a two-story clean.
Clean plus two leaking seams sealed
Drips at a corner or end cap are a common small repair. Sealing each one runs $45–$140 while the crew is already up the ladder.
One-story clean with four downspouts flushed
If your quote leaves the downspouts out, four of them at $20–$95 each, on top of a $85–$260 one-story clean, is the real price. Ask for a flat price that includes them.
How much does gutter cleaning cost in McAllen?
Expect $210 for a typical two-story McAllen gutter clean, and anywhere from $130 to $340 depending on how many feet of gutter you have, how full they are and how hard the roof is to reach.
Small jobs on the same visit cost less than a second trip: $45–$140 to reseal a leaking seam, $65–$190 to re-secure a loose run, and $25–$55 per downspout for an extension. Re-checked against 36 sources, November 2026.
Gutter cleaning prices in McAllen (2026) by job
A two-story clean runs $130–$340, a one-story $85–$260, and a three-story $190–$560.
| Line on the quote | Low | Typical | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| One-story home | $85 | $150 | $260 |
| Two-story home | $130 | $210 | $340 |
| Three-story home | $190 | $320 | $560 |
| Small home, condo or townhouse unit | $65 | $110 | $210 |

| Reseal a leaking seam | $45 | $85 | $140 |
| Remove and refit gutter guards | $25 | $65 | $140 |
Height is the big one in McAllen: the same gutters cost $150 typical on a one-story home, $210 on a two-story and $320 on a three-story, because taller homes take longer ladders, more care and sometimes a lift.
What moves a gutter cleaning quote in McAllen:
- Stories: one-story $85–$260, two-story $130–$340, three-story $190–$560.

- How full they are: packed or overgrown gutters add $45–$140.
- Guards: lifting and refitting them to clean underneath adds $25–$140.
- Roof pitch and access: steep roofs add about 15%, and tight side yards or roofs that can't be walked mean more ladder moves.
Ask every McAllen company the same four things: the flat price for your whole house, whether downspouts are flushed, whether debris is hauled away, and what they charge if the gutters are packed. Compare those, not the starting price. Get a quote for your gutter job →
Gutter cleaning cost in McAllen by home size
About $60–$140 for 100 ft of gutter on a one-story home, $90–$210 for 150 ft, and $170–$370 for 200 ft on a two-story home in McAllen, at local per-foot prices.
Worked example: a two-story home with 200 ft of gutter at $1.20 a foot is $240. Add a roof blow-off at $110 and the bill is about $350. A 150-ft one-story home at $0.85 a foot is $130.
To guess your gutter length, allow about one foot of gutter for every 10 sq ft of home. A 2,500 sq ft two-story home has about 250 ft, about $215–$465 at local per-foot prices, before add-ons.
McAllen gutter cleaning services compared
| Service type | Cost | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| One-story home | $85–$260 per job | Ranch homes and bungalows with a walkable roof |
| Two-story home | $130–$340 per job | Most family homes with 150–200 ft of gutter |
| Three-story home | $190–$560 per job | Tall homes that need roof access or a lift |
| Small home, condo or townhouse unit | $65–$210 per job | Short runs of gutter, under about 125 ft |
| Two-story clean on a twice-a-year plan | $110–$300 per visit | Homes under trees that need spring and fall cleanings |
| Two-story clean plus roof blow-off | $195–$530 per job | Roofs that hold leaves, needles or small branches |
| Two-story clean under gutter guards | $155–$480 per job | Homes with guards that clog underneath |
Per-foot price vs the full bill in McAllen
A quote of $1.20 a foot on a two-story home sounds small, but 180 ft at that rate is about $220. Add four downspouts at $45 each and a roof blow-off ($110) and the bill is about $510. Compare whole-house prices, not per-foot rates.
Many companies also set a minimum charge, so a short run of gutter on a small home rarely costs less than $65. A flat price for the whole house, with downspouts and haul-away included, is the easiest quote to compare.
What's included in a McAllen gutter cleaning quote (and what costs extra)
A standard quote covers scooping out every gutter, bagging and hauling the debris, flushing the downspouts and a quick check for leaks and loose hangers. It often leaves out:
- Blocked downspouts: $50–$140 to take apart or snake a downspout that won't flush
- Gutter guards: $25–$140 to lift and refit them to clean underneath
- Roof debris: $65–$190 to blow leaves and needles off the roof
- Repairs: $45–$140 to reseal a leaking seam, $65–$190 to re-secure a loose run with new hangers
Ask whether the price covers every roofline, including porches, garages and add-ons, and whether debris is hauled away or left in bags.
Stories and access
A one-story home runs $85–$260 and a three-story $190–$560. Above two stories, some jobs need roof access or a lift, which costs extra.
Feet of gutter
A typical home has about 150–200 ft of gutter, roughly one foot for every 10 sq ft of floor space. By the foot, McAllen prices run about $0.60–$1.40 on one story and $0.85–$1.85 on two.
Trees and debris
Homes under oaks need a clean at least twice a year and homes under pines up to four times. Packed or overgrown gutters add $45–$140 to the bill.
Gutter guards
Guards cut how often you need a clean, but crews may charge $25–$140 to lift and refit them. Ask if your guards can be cleaned from the top.
Roof pitch
Steep roofs add about 15% to a quote, and roofs you can't walk on mean more ladder moves. Seamed gutters also take a little longer than seamless ones.
Season
Fall and spring are the busy seasons. Book early, and for hurricane season (June 1 to November 30) get the gutters clear before June.
Local labor
McAllen's metro sits near the bottom of the BLS outdoor maintenance wage table (under about $16.59 an hour, May 2025). Gutter cleaning is mostly labor, so the typical McAllen two-story clean is $210, below the $250 national typical.
- Sign up for a twice-a-year plan.Plans run about $110–$300 a visit in McAllen, against $130–$340 for a one-time two-story clean.
- Book before the rush.Prices and wait times climb in peak leaf season. Book the fall clean early, or ask about a quieter-month discount.
- Get a flat whole-house price.Make sure it includes downspouts and haul-away. Downspouts billed separately add $20–$95 each.
- Bundle the roof and repairs.A roof blow-off ($65–$190) or a seam reseal ($45–$140) costs less on the same visit than on a second trip.
- Trim branches over the roof.Fewer leaves in the gutters means fewer cleanings and no heavy-debris charge.
- Don't let them get packed.A heavy-debris charge of $45–$140 is the price of waiting too long. Regular cleanings avoid it.
